The sweep was prompted by "numerous citizen
complaints," said Cpl. Christopher Levy, public information officer with
MPD. The sweep focused on three areas: the intersection of Demetropolis and
Halls Mill roads, Crestview Park and Mobile Municipal Park.

Levy said the sweep resulted in the arrest of 10 men between
the ages of 30 and 73. Only one of the men arrested appeared to have prior
arrests on loitering charges in Mobile County.

The men face either one count of loitering for the purpose
of deviate sexual intercourse or one count of loitering for the purpose of
prostitution, according to booking logs from Mobile County Metro Jail.

Alabama law defines deviate sexual intercourse as "any
act of sexual gratification between persons not married to each other involving
the sex organs of one person and the mouth or anus of another."

All 10 of those arrested had been released from jail by
about 11:20 p.m. on Friday.
